Narratives of a "secular" city are told by people looking in the wrong places. A few years ago, two Christian leaders from the Americas travelled to New York City, galvanizing civic leadership, drawing public attention, and gathering scores of the faithful. The first was Luis Palau, a global evangelical evangelist. For twelve months, Palau and his team held events around the city, drawing together scores of churches, especially Spanish‐speaking evangelical and Pentecostal churches.
